Docs, usually how long is recovery after a ganglion cyst removal on ankle?

Not long: It is a fairly simple procedure and does not usually require much recovery time.

Usually 1-2 weeks: Depending on size and location of the ganglion cyst, this procedure is relatively simple and done on an outpatient basis. Recovery is usually 1-2 weeks depending on skin healing time, but this is if everything is perfect with your medical history as well. Hope that helps.
